I know the films are a phenomenon, but I am sort of shocked that James Bond, a series which has been going strong for almost 40 years and over 20 movies, is about to be supplanted by a group of films which have been developed and created within the last decade (and truth be told, aside from the first Potter movie, I haven't seen much of the series).
Now I personally don't have a problem with the producers taking and running with this claim. I mean, there is something to be said for being at least in part responsible for bringing the highest grossing set of properties to the screen after all. I just feel it is in part a false claim at this point. Now when the series is complete, then I would feel entirely comfortable with the claim.
But I am forced to admit that most of the Bond movies were released before the days of the blockbuster so they weren't the cash cows they were to become as of late, so even adjusting for inflation, I don't think 7-8 of their highest grossing films together would do 5 billion or more, which is an impressive figure no matter how you slice it.
